Every child fighting cancer

My Story

13 Aug 2025

Life is all about helping out when you can and giving back to your community when the opportunity presents itself. This is my 6th year participating and I set my goal to ride a minimum of 1000kms during the month of August. I am dealing with a hip issue so my mileage is down a bit. In keeping with my motto of #makingmygoalsbiggerthanmyexcuses, I intent to suck it up and step up my game over the next 18 days.

I've raised a lot of funds and cycled a lot of Kms for Sickkids fighting cancer over the last 5 years. My current totals are over 17,000 kms ridden and over $14,000 raised. I am happy and proud that I have the health and fitness to continue giving back in my small way.

Please consider supporting me for this great cause. My daughter was a nurse at SickKids so I have first hand knowledge of how awesome this amazing hospital is. It depends on events like this to continue providing help to the kiddos.

No amount is too small.
